yes that's how the sheep see it.
but in reality this is how the gov can balance it's budget
without raising fuel or other commodity prices.it's basically
a tax on the rich since the central bank holds the $$$ it sells
to the public.

Apparently you're no smarter than the sheep. It's not a tax on the rich. It's a tax on consumers and importers. The vast majority of Iranians including the poorest are consumers and import-buyers.

And clearly, it's no longer in complete control of the central bank as it doesn't possess enough dollars to even temporarily tame the market.

People of Iran should stop looking at their government as this capable and willing entity that morons like Rohani want to portray. Fact is, the government is one of the weakest and most lethargic links in the economic cycle of Iran. It needs to shrink by a massive factor.

Won't happen. Here is a mathematical reason. Let x represents current number of employees in all government sectors. The ideal number to have a better functioning government than the one we've had in the last 40 years is zero. X / 0 is undefined so the factor cannot be calculated.

I am all for the Rial value going down overtime.

It is not wise to let it lose 10% of its value in one year.

but it is a good for the long term health of Iranian economy to let the Rial slide down in value in near linear line for the long-term.

Yes that's true if you ignore everything else. But you can't.

Rial's devaluation is indeed a wonderful thing when the aim is to amp up manufacturing, attract external investment and increase exports. For any of these to happen logistics, infrastructure, transparency, law enforcement and political flexibility are the absolute minimums. Even the communist party of China (the symbol of shittiness) fully understood this 2 decades ago.

Poor people in Iran. Their income is in Rial, and expenses are already equivalent to that of our expenses here in U.S and Canada. Imagine the increasing inflation on them now. :(

I dont think govt cares either. Their bank accounts in Canada/Switzerland is safe + quite worthy now with this conversion rate. Keshvar ro ghavi tahvil gereftan, daran ghabresho tahvil baadi midan.

let's make this easy like pie.

i'm the gov and i have one worker who makes
4000 coins a month.he is making noise about
not being happy with his wage so i promise him
a 10% raise starting next month.
now i only have one $ that is worth exactly 4000 coins
in the market.so i have to come up with 400 coins
more before i can give this guy a raise.luckily i have the
power to set the price for the $ at any rate i want.so i
say $ is now worth 4500 coins.i sell it to a sucker who wants
one and make the 4400 coins i need to pay my employee
and make 100 coins profit too.

تو من وقتی خوبه ضعیف باشه که ایران یک کشوری کاملا صنعتی و صاداراتش بیش از وارداتش باشه
من نمیدونم نسبت صادارات و واردات ایران چقدر است
ولی فکر نکنم که صادارات ایران بیش از وارداتش باشه
اگر یک کشوری مثل ژاپن بودیم خیلی هم خوب بود حتی تومن برسه به 10 هزار مقابل دلار
ولی الان فکر نکنم ضعف تومان به نفع ایران باشه

I have a couple of FOB Iranian clients that live here but make money in Iran. One of them just got a havaleh for $200K and he paid over 5000 tomans per $. These guys keep buying income properties here that make no sense at all. They think we have double digit inflation here too and refuse to hold cash.
